These kinds info is not just irrelevant to us it's irrelevant to everyone period. It adds quite literally nothing to the story and game as it exist now. And unless niki decides to continue the game all the way to mc reaching godhood these kinds of lore info will remain irrelevant. At best They're merely teasers for something that'll never happen.

Path of martial arts: leaked sneak peaks, and discussing thread

Idk about you guys but i really like the outside lore. Its a shame that the game ends at NS. I feel like Niki is trying to cram in as many cultivator lore and relevance into the story since the cultivation world is not going to be explored.
Pacing is not a strong suit for Niki. Still, if we want to see cultivator worlds outside in the same timespan of the release of 2 books, then that would mean there will be cuts on other stuff. We would probably see less casual events, RO events and stuff if he wants to include beyond NS. At the same time i dont think he wants to write poma for longer than it is needed. Look at whats going on with Wayhaven, 5 books of nothing burger.
Both can be true tho. MC being strong and growing too fast is literally how MC's of xianxia are right? Make arcs of the game and introduce new antoganists for each realm or whicher realm he decides to focus. Im no xianxia expert but i believe a story with MC in cultivation world has a lot of potential, not just in terms of power fantasy, but majorly in terms of story.
It's not even a good excuse bro mc would still need 100k to a few million years plenty of time to make good arcs.
Honestly, I think this is just an excuse. I mean, the MC could be strong, yes, but that wouldn’t make him boring. If the author simply wants the MC to face challenges even while being strong, all he would have to do is have him fight cultivators above his realm. From what I can see, that excuse feels pretty empty, honestly. In fact, it would even make more sense that way, since there would be no need to keep looking for excuses as to why they don’t just send someone from a higher realm to finish off the MC, like what’s happening in POMA—such as when he fought the shadows before meeting Caihon or he could even add adventures or things like that. The only challenging aspect in POMA is just nonstop fights, and that’s it. I don’t know about others, but for me that’s boring when the only challenge is simply defeating the next random guy who shows up and there’s nothing else beyond that.
but that’s just my opinion

So he only finds story intresting if mc is weak and he gets glaze nobodies infront of him
And he would remove already established mc who have way interesting story and put another one so he can continuing glazing of others to readers with new mc and they can't even complain anymore since this one won't be reincarnation of God.

Some more lore information, this is a little more relevant:
1 - Being a dual cultivator apparently does not result in a complete increase in power. Although it does make the individual harder to kill and more versatile. The individual cannot stack enhancements from different cultivation systems. For example, a character with Body 9 and Qi 10, their strongest attack would be a 10, not a 19... Honestly, I think this is more Nicky avoiding work... v(￣ー￣)v
2 - That story about the body TW made for the MC being just "very good but something any immortal could give him" was thrown out the window. Now, it's actually so good that the MC could reach the Divine without even cultivating Dao.
Edit: Just one clarification on the second point... "Could reach" is really just a possibility; the MC's true, unparalleled talent still lies with Dao. To the point that Nicky says that only the MC (with his physique) is truly "guaranteed to reach the divine."

Niki needs to take time and properly plan things out and have things set cuz the amount of retcons hes doing is getting out of hand
That's good, because it made Tang Wei look like a complete fraud.
If he's retconning stuff this much he might've gotten a movie deal and we'll be getting a POMA cinematic universe soonNiki needs to take time and properly plan things out and have things set cuz the amount of retcons hes doing is getting out of hand
He is playing with us this is how the body should have been always regardless mc always got the win anyways it's just with more domination now but the reactions and acknowledgement of them is still null.Please niki I need this my WU Heir is kind of starving for acknowledgement and I want to help him out.
Credit where its due this has been a longtime complaint of mine so glad to see TW isn't being mogged by Lady Butterfly's cultivator factory anymore
All I want rn is for the difficulty settings to go back to what they were without checks being changed tho
If Niki just shuts up and doesn't give away lore for free in the discord, we wouldn't even know half the retcon he does.
Regarding the dual cultivation, it makes sense? Dual cultivation is basically strengthening both body and qi individually right? Why would ones strongest attack be the combination of both when it would the strongest of the two?

I would assume not a flat power up but think if someone has trained body to the limit like 10 body and also had 10 spell power he should be able to hit slightly above cap for a spell as his body can absorb the pushback so maybe not 20 attack but a 11 spell attack when the normal cap would be 10 .That imo would make sense.
In fact, we have an example of how this would work within the game itself. It's not exactly a case of cultivation, but if you remember, at the beginning of the game, at times when using arts, we still had stat checks, meaning that a strong body strengthened spells.
